It is not so bad.
From the first post:

You can see the highest point is behind the B pillar, and at the top of the C pillar, about as far back as the heads of the rear passengers will be, the height is still approx. 145 cm.
Many cars are lower than that.

The styling kind of grows on you.
The 3rd gen Prius I saw in the wild this morning suddenly looked outdated.
Guess I could live with it.
If only it had an H badge

What worries me are the blacked out D pillars and strip above the rear window.
Those optical illusions may be what will make this version look outdated in the future.

For education go to people unlike yourself.
